Summary:
The Southwest Public Schools district in Texas has only one high school, Empowerment High School, which serves grades 9-12. Based on the available data, Empowerment High School does not appear to be a standout performer within the district or the state of Texas, with a declining statewide ranking and a low 1-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Empowerment High School's academic performance is generally below average compared to the district and state. The school's four-year graduation rate of 87.6% is slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate of 2.9% is slightly higher. Test scores across all subject areas and grade levels are also below the district and state averages. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (90.34%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite the school's relatively high spending per student of $12,209 in 2020-2021, which is slightly above the state average, and a student-teacher ratio of 17.3 in 2023-2024, which is slightly higher than the state average, these factors have not translated into better academic outcomes for the students. The data suggests that Empowerment High School is a struggling school within the Southwest Public Schools district, and significant improvements may be needed to address the academic and demographic challenges it faces.
